TJ's list of gluten free foods is expanding.
Just recently they have come out with their own line of sandwich bread, hamburger and hot dog buns. Their large cupcakes are to die for. Their mini cupcakes, for some reason, are not as tender and tasty as the large ones.
I have tried the hamburger rolls and find them to be tasty, light, and at least half the price of Udi's per unit.
I'm excited to go back and try the sandwich breads.

Well, they used to be five star a gluten-free grocery store. Now, not so much.
I used to go through the aisles and say "no, Christine, do not buy the produce because it goes bad quickly." And always give in.. and my fruits and vegetables would be bad within two days. Now, you can find me bypassing produce and then sifting endlessly through products reading the backs of the packaging just to find something -anything- I can eat.
Recently, they removed the gluten-free aisle labels, making it difficult to find gf options. Then, if you finally find a product labeled gluten-free, make sure you also check the back of the packaging to make sure it is in fact gluten-free and made a gluten-free facility.
No thanks. Whole Foods ... Harris Teeter ... Farm Fresh.. Etc are where it's at.

When asked about their gluten free items at checkout, the cashier briefly walked away and came back with a four page printout of specific store items and info. They have also been very helpful and knowledgable when I have questions for them in the aisles.

Parking at any Trader Joes is always a nightmare and this is no exception. Having said that, their GF snickerdoodles are to die for, and they have so many GF food items that you can easily forget this is a specialty food category.

Fewer gluten free choices than the average grocery store, and I have not been impressed with their specialty items. They do have a few things I come back for, though, namely their Honey Sesame Almonds and their sliced Ditch Goat Cheese

I wish they would put all their GF options in one section but perhaps it wouldn't be that big. :p Their GF frozen pizza is the best I've tried as well as their crispy chocolate chip cookies. But that's really it. Besides the gf penne and brown rice tortillas (which taste like paper), they now stock GF flour. most of their marinated meats have gluten so stay clear. And, if you are GFCF, TJs is a quick stop for a few things. Unfortunately their coconut creamer has been bad every time I bought one so never again.

They have gf pasta that's trustworthy. But for the most part, unless it's fresh or frozen veggies, I don't trust their "no glutenfree ingredients" labels on their foods. I've been glutened by some of their products.

I've had issues after eating their prepackaged salads. You would think a health food store could manage to make salad that's gf. I still buy groceries here but do not trust the packaged food from their deli.

Trader Joes is the easiest place to shop and makes it really appealing to eat more gluten free and healthy in general. From the gluten free chocolate cupcakes, pumpkin pancakes, gluten free brownie mix(!!!!!so good!!!!) gluten free deli meats, bread, bagel, potato chips, chocolate caramels, almond clusters and so on and so on... They label everything extremely thorough with GF for gluten free on the label and food contains: which will list any allergens that are in the food such as, soy, egg, nuts, gluten etc. AND if you still aren't sure check out the wall guides by the exit which list all allergens separately and gives you a list of EVERYTHING that's gluten free in the store. You cannot do better!

Almost, but not quite. Be careful as many GF items that are labelled GF have written in small print ; prepared in a facility that also processes wheat/gluten!
So disappointing that they do this. So don't just grab something labelled GF.
READ the ingredients and small print!
